Vegan Chocolate Baked Oatmeal Bars

These vegan chocolate baked oatmeal bars are made with just 5 ingredients: banana, oats, cocoa, chocolate vegan protein powder and chocolate chips! And with just 18 grams of carbs, 3 grams of fat and 6 grams of protein per 114 calorie bar, they’re easy to fit into any nutrition plan. If you need a boost before a workout, a sweet treat during the day or quick snack anytime, these are perfect.

Getting Back on Track

After the holiday season, a month-long vacation and a complete relaxation of my diet, I recently started tracking macros again. I love the results I see with consistently eating right for my body and performance goals. It’s only been a week of 100% consistency but I feel about a million times better than when I got back from vacation last weekend.

If you’re interested in learning more about macros, I’ve shared a number of helpful posts on vegan flexible dieting. You can check them out below if you would like to learn how you can use macros to reach your health and fitness goals.

I make baked oatmeal bars a lot without using recipes because you really can’t go wrong. Basically mix any fruit puree with oats, bake it and you’re good to go! I usually make them with banana and I like to add vegan protein powder just so they’re a bit more balanced but the adding protein is optional.

Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips

I made this recipe with Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels in these but their mini chocolate chips or chocolate chunks would also be awesome! You can use any kind of chocolate you want or feel free to leave them out if you want to further reduce the macros (not recommended, it’s chocolate!). If you do make them without chocolate chips, they’re just 97 calories each with 16C/1.5F/6P per bar.

Nutrition Details

If you cut them into the recommended 16 servings they’re fairly small bars, so making 10-12 bars out of it might be nice for a more satisfying serving size! I typically just eat two at a time anyways, so I like the flexibility of 16 bars. Lol.

Recently I started working out and it bummed to know that what I ate wasn’t helping me getting where I wanted. I’m always trying to find healthy snaks because when we want one and don’t know which to have that’s usually when we make more mistakes so this recipe will be perfect. It seems amazing and on top of all is vegan. Definetly going to try it out 😀

I made this recipe yesterday and have to say these are amazing! The banana flavor is not overbearing as it can be in some recipes. They are a delicious and healthy alternative to other sugary treats! Very satisfying. Thank you!
